My Story

My background is in business and aviation, followed by more than twenty years as an airline Captain. Along the way, I came to understand the strengths, frailties and intricacies of the human spirit.

​

From the age of five until fourteen, I was regularly on the receiving end of beatings, insults and actions intended to break my spirit. The experience caused me considerable anxiety, and taught me at an early age how deeply fear can affect a person.

​

I have experienced depression, divorce, disaster and joy beyond measure. Each stage of my life has taught me something about people, about fear and about the way our minds can shape the lives we lead.

​

Over time, I became fascinated by the relationship between our thoughts, the words we use and the way we feel. I learned that we can sometimes train our minds to work with us rather than against us.

​

In my life, I have also seen people I cared about suffer. This taught me something else. Sometimes pain remains long after the situation that caused it has passed. I wanted to understand why, and more importantly, what could be done about it.

​

That eventually led me to hypnotherapy.

​

Today, I use the experience I have gained throughout my life, together with hypnotherapy and an understanding of how the mind works, to help people overcome anxiety, fears, phobias and the things that are holding them back in life.

​

I don't promise to have all the answers. But I do understand what it means to struggle, to feel stuck and to wonder whether things can change.

​

They can.

Most sessions take place online, allowing you to relax in your own home without travelling or sitting in waiting rooms. Face to face appointments are also available at my office in Eastbourne.
